Hi and welcome to Behind The Noise!

Today we report on an unforgettable evening of the Creature Tour, which took place at the Essigfabrik in Cologne. The bands rocked the stage on two consecutive evenings, and we were there on the first day to witness the explosive performances of Guilt Trip, Like Moths To Flames, The Devil Wears Prada and Landmvrks.

Gleich zu Beginn betrat Guilt Trip die Bühne mit einem lauten Knall. Die Band stürmte regelrecht los und präsentierte einen dynamischen Hardcore-Punk-Sound, der mit Leichtigkeit Hip-Hop-Elemente integrierte. Gleich zu Beginn wurde der erste Moshpit des Abends eröffnet. Sänger Jay forderte das Publikum immer wieder zu „Mosh Pits“ und „Circle Pits“ auf, und diese Aufforderungen wurden begeistert angenommen. Die Energie war von Anfang an spürbar und setzte den Ton für den restlichen Abend.

Our absolute highlight of the evening and one of the reasons why we had come was The Devil Wears Prada, who fired up the audience during the break with a mixture of 90s and 2000s pop songs. With a clear message to get your dancing shoes out, the party began in hardcore style. The first instructions of the evening were given over the intro, and the band took to the stage with fist bumps, ready to party. Their performance was a real participatory affair, with no one able to stand still. Songs like "Salt" were sung along like anthems, and "Broken", the chosen stage diver song, was moshed heavily.

An unforgettable moment was when singer Jeremy took a break and got a beer at the bar, letting himself be carried by the crowd. Meanwhile, fellow singer Mike took over the show, supported by Juan Pardo, who also made the stage shake. Their brilliant set ended with "Chemical" and "Sacrifice".

With the same volume with which Landmvrks had started, they said goodbye and prepared for the second day of the tour. We enjoyed the concert immensely and hope to see these bands again soon!

The first day of the Creature Tour at the Essigfabrik in Cologne was a complete success. While all the bands delivered an impressive show, The Devil Wears Prada also made a strong impression. Their energetic performance, the interaction with the audience and the unforgettable moments, such as the stage dive of singer Jeremy, made this evening something very special. We are already looking forward to seeing The Devil Wears Prada and the other bands live again soon and are excited to see what else we will hear from them in the future.
